This was one of those drinks that just leaps into your head in a flash of inspiration. It’s a paper plane riff based around pairing my local whisky distilleries 12y.o. and an ingredient I discovered at my sorely missed bar NOLA Dundee where I worked. The whisky used is Fettercairn 12, it’s a super light and tropical highland whisky. I grew up around 3 miles from the distillery. I don’t use single malts lightly in cocktails as one, they’re expensive, and two I have a great deal of respect for them so it’s really got to be banging. I was talking to fettercairns ambassador and he mentioned that the whisky paired wonderfully with peach water and that’s when inspiration hit to make a run rinquinquin and fettercairn paper plane! Rinquinquin is an awesome French aperitif made with peaches and a white wine base. Super autumnal and mega versatile.
